Emotional Bruises (PorDee)

Prologue

Anntonias POV

another month another audition.

"C'mon Ann you can do it, you're just doubting yourself that's why!" Said Ruru as i got ready for another audition in a school play. I was in my last year of college though Ru was already working, He works as a model for a company nearby where he lives. Though for today he was off work and has been rolling around on my rolling chair as i get ready while giving me much needed convincing.

"I'm not doubting my self Ru! I know my worth and i know that i can act better than her but you don't get it.. Her mom's Vice President of course she's gonna get all the lead roles she wants!" I complain while straightening my hair "Ann, calm down. Everything happens for a reason you should just let life play out and be grateful" He shrugs "Don't give me that bullshit Ru.. ฉันเหนื่อยมากกับการพยายามรู้ว่าฉันจะไม่บรรลุเป้าหมาย เพราะทั้งหมดนี้มันไม่ยุติธรรมเลย (I am just sooo tired of trying knowing i'll never reach my goal cause of how unfair this all is)" i sigh standing up and grabbed my backpack "you'll push through Ann, trust me. A girl like you will always make it" I forced a smiled a smile and went off, off to probably lose another lead role.

I was rocking in grey sweatpants and a black uniqlo crop top while wearing grey, old, worn out sneakers i got last summer.

Ruru has been a loyal friend of mine, He has witnessed every heartbreak, cringe phase, boy problems i have ever had in my life yet still stayed. And I'm grateful for that though He is not exactly the best person to talk to when you're looking for advice. He will literally pull out the most basic catch phrases ever when you're conversing with him. Which is often for me, I mostly rant to him about Michelle every month for very good reasons. He may not give the best advice but he is a very good listener.

Michelle has been a problem for me ever since she moved into this school. I've had small interactions with her here and there which consists of me being extra unpleasant to her as possible during those interactions but overall i try to avoid her at all cost, I use to get all the lead roles before she moved in but ever since she moved she has been stealing them unfairly using her perks as the vice presidents daughter. Though I don't exactly have proof I mean what else has she been doing to be consistently getting lead roles for the past 3 months?

•

While patiently waiting in the waiting room for the auditions to start i was bouncing my feet nervously, there was only four people auditioning for the lead role today which was for the shortened Hamilton play, no one really tried anymore except for Cess and Tryksha knowing it'll always land on either Michelle or me which barely happens anymore. eight people were already present including me in the room and still no sign of Michelle Marquez Dee.

good sign i thought

Every second that goes by my mind sweats wishing Michelle would sit this play out to give me a secure chance of getting the lead role.

A few minutes later a few more people gathered, Michelle was still no where to be found which sent relief down my spine.

A guy walked upfront wearing black trousers and a white sweater much like the one Chris Evans wore in the film Knifes Out. He clapped his hands together gaining everyones attention. "May i have everyones attention please! yes hello I am Sir Carl Luther you may call me Sir Carl and I will be picking out this months lead, we are about to start actually in.." Sir Carl stopped to look at the time on his watch and continued. "Three... two... annddd... on-" the loud opening of the door took everyones attention and cut Sir Carl mid sentence.

And in that very moment right there. I immediately knew who was barging in the room.

"I'm sorry i'm late I had to run some errands real quick-" Car keys clinking in her hand, wearing a white long sleeve polo was the one and only Michelle Dee near the doorway. "You were just in time actually though I don't appreciate your grand entrance Ms Dee, but please settle down we're just about to start" Michelle bowed in apology and scattered quickly finding a seat... next to me. Naturally I roll my eyes not caring if she saw me or not though I wish i cared not knowing it would get a reaction out of her forcing me to interact with the woman.

"Being mean doesn't look good on you Porsild" mumbled the woman next to me "shut up" i simply say to give her another hint out of the millions ive given that i do not like her. "You know all i ever showed was my interest of being friends with you but you never seem to even wanna be mutuals" she says quietly "Michelle..." I sighed "I'd very much appreciate it if you shut the hell up before we get scolded for-"

"Ms Porsild and Dee, would you mind sharing a few words on what you were talking about that is apparently much more important than the information I'm giving out here?" Sir Carl says disappointingly which I quickly responded
"I apolog-"
"Save your apologies and be useful. Both of you please go out and fetch our papers in the storage room" He says after cutting me off. I sigh standing up and headed outside as Michelle followed my steps.

I storm off the theatre annoyed by Dee to the point where looking at her might drive me into a blowout.

"Hey Ann wait up!" Dee Slight-yelled behind me, I had enough of her and i feel as if i had the slightest interaction with her again i'd breakdown to my knees and scream so i ignored her up until we entered the storage room, i turned the knob going in and as i did Michelle followed.

"You know i never got why you hate me so much" says Michelle entering the room. And with that line i sigh and I fully turn my face towards her. "Dee can't you see?? I don't wanna be fucking friends with you alright?! Leave me alone for gods sake!" I pushed her  two shoulders as she stumbled her back making the door close and we hear a slight 'click' sound.

I panicked as i pushed her aside turning the door knob repeatedly trying to unlock it which in my case would be impossible. "Great! Now were locked." I groan leaning my forehead on the door helplessly.

"Why?" Was all i heard from Dee after the tantrum i just threw. I sigh and face her with a straight face. "Why what Michelle"

"Why do you hate me?"
